How to create a genuine synthesis of the component elements in a musical drama: this was the central problem of Wagner's life as a theorist and as a creative artist. This is the first book which focuses attention exclusively on this problem. It extracts from Wagner's voluminous and far-ranging writings the pertinent theories on synthesis, analyzes them, and shows how the creative works reflect the successive stages of these theories. The author does not attempt to establish priority of influence for either theory or practice, but shows that they are necessarily complementary and reciprocal aspects of Wagner's creative activity, and that a precise analysis of the theory will cast new light on the nature of the musical dramas. Wagner thought consistently in terms of a union of poetry, music, and drama, but the manner in which he described and justified their union, as well as the way in which he combined them in his works, varied considerably in the successive periods of his life. In particular, his acceptance of Schopenhauer's esthetics of music in 1854, shortly after he had worked out a complete theory of art synthesis in Opera and Drama, his major essay, was an important turning point. For Schopenhauer's views were incompatible with that theory, and the result was a series of adjustments by Wagner in both theory and practice, in which he attempted to reconcile his ideas with those of Schopenhauer. The author's careful analysis of these successive stages--his discussion of the poetry, drama, and music, not as separate elements, but only in their relation to their function as part of a synthesis--is an absolutely new contribution to Wagner research. The author presents the theory and the works, particularly from The Rhinegold on, in an important new perspective. --Jacket

Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer, conductor, music theorist, and essayist, primarily known for his operas (later called music dramas). Wagner s musical style is often considered the epitome of classical music s Romantic period, due to its unprecedented exploration of emotional expression. He transformed musical thought through his idea of Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork), the synthesis of all the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, epitomized by his monumental four-opera cycle The Ring of the Niebelung (1876). Wagner even went so far as to build his own opera-house to try to stage these works as he had imagined them. His literary friendship with Franz Liszt led to a long-lived correspondence later compiled in the two volumes of Corrrespondence of Wagner and Liszt (1889); a book that was attributed to both musicians. Among his other famous works are Tristan and Isolde, which broke important new musical ground, My Life (in two volumes) (1880), and The Flying Dutchman.
